Chris42Your "What if" question (From a sober and not-high thought - think physics)
Heard this somewhere - Time is natures way of keeping everything from happening all at once.
If the past doesn't exist yet -
that would mean there are a lot of innocent people in prison...

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...

ScoutmasterMy Berkeley physics neighbor once asked me, "if there are parallel universes, are there also perpendicular universes?"

I was going to say this exact thing. +1 Watch The Langoliers. Or better yet, read it.....it's contained in the novella collection Four Past Midnight, by Stephen King.

StormIf the past doesn't exist, then you're at the beginning of time.
If the past doesn't exist yet, then you're traveling backward in time.
On another note: Relativity implies that the past, present, and future all exist on the same footing. In other words, points in time (future or past) exist just like points in space do. In essence, it's saying the future is predetermined.
Here's a video explaining this:
